Wow. There are no words to describe how powerful this collection is and just how important its stories are. 

I was laughing and crying and frightened right alongside these characters. Their voices finding a special place in my heart. It will be a long time before I forget their tales. This is a novel everyone should be reading. If you haven’t yet picked it up, you should.

Shobha Rao writes beautifully. The prose of the stories so eloquently done that it is nearly impossible to tear your eyes from the page.
